Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On Tuesday evening, Area Activator Simon was joined by an awesome team of 13 Goodgym runners (including first timers Aimee, Julia and Joao) at the awesome ON Running Store, Spitalfields to continue our quest to visit all the Islington Parks in 2024!
Together, we ran 5.2 miles from the store, parallel to Old Street and Clerkenwell and onwards to Farringdon (amazingly all part of Islington, despite being in Central London), and visited the following parks:
Finsbury Square (Moorgate)
Bunhill Fields Burial Gardens
Quaker Gardens
St Luke's Churchyard
St Luke's Gardens
Radnor Gardens (by the old Ironmonger Row baths)
Lever Street Gardens
King's Square Gardens
Northampton Square Gardens
Spa Fields
St James Church Gardens
and
St John's Gardens in Farringdon
Well done everyone! Wonderful to be involved with the urban exploring challenge. More opportunities will be listed soon!
